“Can you have sinus pain on just one side?”
I am a 29 year old male. I want to know if you can have sinus pain on just one side?

Yes absolutely. It may be that one side is more plugged up than the other. There are several factors for this. You could have a deviated septum, enlarged turbinates, and narrows drainage pathways within your sinus tracts. It’s important to work with your ENT (ear nose throat doctor) do fire out why this is happening.
Yes you can. In fact, sinus pain on one side may be indicative of bacterial sinusitis. Bacterial sinusitis is the lest common form of sinusitis and actually requires antibiotic treatment as opposed to the usual sinusitis that is viral and not responsive to antibiotics.
That being said, one-sided sinus pain does not have to be related to sinusitis and can be due to other factors such as nasal polyps or pain that is referred from elsewhere (nerves, teeth, etc).

Yes.
Please consult ENT for better guidance, I cannot provide detailed information on the issue.
